Last week, the coast of Ireland experienced flooding. Thankfully, the inclement weather did bring with it something good, though. The morning after flooding subsided, a man named Aoife Millea and his nine-year-old son found a message in a bottle on their local beach. The message they found, it turns out, was sent by a pair of twelve-year-old girls in 2004. Charlaine and Claudia, the girls who sent the message, were, at least at the time, from Montreal, and sent their sea-borne missive off while on vacation in the village of Grande-Vallée. The girls asked that whoever received their message reply to them via email and tell them a bit about their life. Determined to answer the girls’ message, Millea’s son tried to email them, but the email address the girls provided, cheval-rouge95@hotmail.com, appears to be no longer in service – one imagines that the girl who owned the email, likely twenty-years-old now, abandoned the address in favour of something more suited to adult life. So, Claudia and Charlaine, if you’re out there and are reading this, let’s work together to get you in touch with the boy who found your message in a bottle. For those interested, the full message can be seen below:
